I CAN SLEEP

There’s no light if there isn’t darkness

I can sleep
I cured insomnia, I am healed

How I enjoy my sleep nowadays
The dreams I dream
So poetic, the dreams I dream
Early I mean, is the time I tightly tuck
Wonderful nights with zero commitments
Blissful I tell you, dear
No more paranoid haunts, I haven’t texted her
Nowadays, I enjoy dream monologues
I am oh so delightful, my nights so peaceful
I even made a vow with my bed, until the coffin do us part

But feel I’m a mess, my life is a mess
Wait, is it memory loss?
Sorry, is it amnesia?
That’s how you’d put it,
though my memories are so clear, some lost their meaning
I knew why the sun comes out at dawn, why it shines so bright
The sun comes out to see how remarkably beautiful you are, always
It shines so bright in appreciation of your idyllic beauty, always
Back then I knew
Now, I can’t tell
Someone tell me why the sun comes out each dawn?
Why does it shine that bright, mostly at noon?

You are my everything
Or you were my everything, back then
I could not do without you, I thought
Maybe a reason you enslaved me, a love slave I was
Sadly, I can
Am doing good, kicking fine without you
I may be dead to you
But through breathing I am living

You promised me heaven but delivered a hell
When you were my angel
I’d chosen perseverance in love, to keep you
I was not the best but I promised perfection
I had a belief, a solid belief
That trials always deliver success
But where do failures come from?
Where do fiascos come from?
Is it not from the same trials?
So, thank you for the failure

It is like we aren’t done, yet
But I don’t know who we are anymore
I don’t know why we are here either
I don’t know who you are, sorry
Sorry you are fading

I cured insomnia, I am healed
I can sleep
